Default Door latch problem

I would upgrade to a deadbolt lock its much more secure and elminates
the risk of locking yourself out by accident by pulling the door shut.

from the original description the lock didnt sound like a deadbolt,
which may qualify your mom for a homeowners insurance discount


Thanks for the note. Actually, there is a KwikSet "door knob" lock and
then a separate KwikSet deadbolt lock. And they are the cheaper end,
which I know is not very secure, but she lives in a ultra-low crime
area, and to be honest, her two rotts, Fang and Lady, would love to
have the chance to "play" with anyone who decided to kick-in the door.
LOL.
